A Day at the Pool

Today was the perfect day to go to the pool. Everyone slept in a little late this morning. We didn’t get back from the fireworks until nearly midnight and everyone was wired up from all of the excitement of all of the wonderful displays that our local recreation center produced this year, in celebrating the 4th of July.

Once the house started waking up and everyone had fed their face with some type of nourishment from my fully stocked kitchen. I went shopping yesterday and spent a fortune on items to take with us to the show, things like beer, wine, wine coolers, sodas, Gatorade, bottled water, chips, dips, crackers, cookies, fruits, well you get the point. So the kitchen is now over flowing with munchies that should last all week-end long, maybe.

Anyway, we decided that today was the first nice day that we have had in a while so we packed up all of our swimming pool gear and took off for a day in the sun and water fun. It was great, fun was had by all, even Hubby came along this time, which is rare these days, and now I’m totally beat and sun burned and ready for bed.

By the way, a belated Happy Independence Day to America, may God Bless us all!

Want To Travel

Now that the kids are getting a bit older there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel and I am anxious to do the traveling that I’ve always wanted to do, while still including the kids, but not focusing the entire trip mainly on kiddie activities.

The Internet has really opened the doors for the general public to see what is out there, when it is and for what price – plus it has given many ways for us to tie up all of the loose ends that are involved in planning a trip.

My guess is that every family wants to go to Disneyland and stay at the Disneyland Anaheim hotel, which for us is a 3000 mile trip all the way across the U.S. from where we live. A long trip like that with my gang would normally require a lot of my time in researching and planning.

Since my parent live in Florida, years ago on one of our numerous visits with them down in the Sunshine State, that was when the kids were really very young, we all went to Disney World and wow it was an adventure!  Since my folks lived to close by it fell on their shoulders to handle all the planning/entertaining, now that’s the way to do it, ha ha, just kidding.

While researching on the Internet I was looking at a web site: TravelHero.com amd it made me aware that there is so much more out there for families to explore that are set in-between the two coast lines. On their map you can see all theses different places that you can click on and get all the info you’d need for your stay.   They provide discount hotel reservations as well as helping you find a flight and assist in reserving a car for your use, smooth and stress free!  I even saw something on there about golf!

Home for the Night

Not feeling well today, so I think we’ll be staying in tonight.  Hubby wants to order chinese food and get a movie. Sounds like a plan although I think chicken soup would be a better suggestion at this point.

Maybe a good night’s sleep and some vitamins will fight this off.

Reading Should Help Me Relax

For the most part I have enjoyed reading, but since getting married and starting a family there doesn’t leave much time to sit down and read a good book other than the monthly Reader’s Digest that mainly stays in our bathroom.  A short story here and there, a laugh or two, and keeping up with the newest controversies from all over is about all the recreational reading that I get now a days.

I keep hearing from other busy Moms about the Book Clubs that they belong to and how much they enjoy reading books, it is one way that they can relax and help ease the stresses of their busy scheduled days.

Since the kids are getting a bit older and can entertain themselves a bit more easily (I guess so with TVs, DVDs, CD’s, PC’s, Playstations, Nintendo’s, X-Boxes, cell phones, etc.) I have decided that I will start taking some time and start reading some of the many books that we have sitting on our dusty bookshelves.  Of course this reading will take place after my blogging has been finished because I truley enjoy this as well.

So, off to the bookcases I go, I hope the dust bunnies won’t get too upset with me for invading their “Personal Space”.

War Paint

My teen spends a good amount of her time on the computer as much as the rest of us do.  I make an effort to keep an eye on what she is up to while on the Internet and it has given us plenty of opportunities to spend time with each other while surfing the net.

She has been into fashion and make-up since she turned 3 and we have spent a lot of time together playing with different girlie things, putting on make-up and doing hair.  Her girlfriends used to come over and invade my suitcases full of old colorful clothing that they could play dress-up with and have a blast.  I’d always had as much glitter on the floor as dust bunnies, that is before she has toned such things down with age.

Makeup is a big part of being a little girl, they watch Mom putting it on, day after day, and boys even like putting it on, they just called it by another name “War Paint”!

Leap Year Birthday Boys

Every year I start looking for Leap Year Birthday cards to send to the to guys that were born on February 29th, Leap Year. It seems to me that there is a need for Leap Year Birthday cards and that the greeting card companies would realize this and offer the good folks that only get to celebrate their true birthday date once every four years a decent Leap Year birthday card.

Daughter wants to Blog

The next blogs will be written by my daughter.

She is 12 years old and I think she will enjoy the experience and I wish her luck.  I’ll be checking in on her now and then!

Today’s horoscope – Libra, that’s me

Libra

October 25, 2012                      I’m Libra

Winning the battle is not nearly as important as just making an effort to win, right now, so push yourself, but not too hard. You don’t have to prove yourself to others, now. You just have to keep doing what is right for you. You have a deep well of untapped potential, but there is no hurry to bring it up to the surface. Just take your time and appreciate the smaller things in life. Those mountains you want to climb aren’t going anywhere anytime soon!

Got Milk?

This was just too funny not to post here. I love milk, but hate it when it comes out of your nose!
